Dr. Oscar Pino

I fell in love with dentistry from an early age. I had great experiences going to see my dentist as a child even despite having a strong sweet tooth back then. I later discovered how much dentistry was my calling during college working side by side with different dentists in various settings. Today dentistry gives me the satisfaction of being able to care for my patients by focusing on curing oral disease while working towards a healthy mouth and great smile. I have found it gratifying to be able to change patients’ lives by giving them back their confidence and positive outlook on life through that smile and ability to chew with strong teeth.

One of my overall goals in my work is to give my best every day to ensure that my patients are happy when they leave the office, and to also remove the fear that keeps so many individuals from going to the dentist. I do this by showing compassion and working in a calm and gentle manner in order to instill confidence in my patients; especially the nervous ones. Dentistry is truly an art and science, and I feel fortunate to enjoy these key aspects of this wonderful profession.

Outside the Office

I was born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama. Growing up in the South gave me a wonderful childhood with great friends and a good education. My parents moved to the United States in the 1970’s from South America. Most of my summer breaks as a child and young adult were spent with my extended family in Colombia where I was able to take in my family’s culture and language.

I have found it a blessing to be raised bilingual with English and Spanish, and my wife and I plan on raising our two daughters in a similar fashion. Outside of the home and office my passion is surfing and traveling. I learned how to surf early on during my trips to South and Central America. Whenever I have free time and the waves are good you will find me out there in the South Bay and SoCal Beaches.
